## Understanding the data analytics project life cycle

December 12, 2013
By

While dealing with the data analytics projects, there are some fixed tasks that should be followed to get the expected output. So here we are going to build a data analytics project cycle, which will be a set of standard data-driven processes to lead data to insights effectively. The defined data analytics processes of a The post Understanding...

## Thursday: Scalable Cross-Platform R-Based Predictive Analytics

December 11, 2013
By

Tomorrow at 11AM Pacific Time, Revolution Analytics' Chief Scientist Mario Inchiosa will present a live webinar on Scalable Cross-Platform R-Based Predictive Analytics. Here's the abstract: In this webinar we will take a quick tour through an end-to-end predictive analytics session. We will start by exploring our data with summaries and histograms. Using the knowledge gleaned from data exploration, we...

## The forestplot of dreams

December 8, 2013
By

Displaying large regression models without overwhelming the reader can be challenging. I believe that forestplots are amazingly well suited for this. The plot gives a quick understanding of the estimates position in comparison to other estimates, while also showcasing the uncertainty. This project started with some minor tweaks to prof. Thomas Lumleys forestplot and ended up in a...

## Unobserved Effects With Panel Data

December 4, 2013
By

It is common for researchers to be concerned about unobserved effects being correlated with observed explanatory variables.For instance, if we were curious about the effect of meditation on emotional stability we may be concerned that there might be so...

## Maximizing Return from Every Item in the Marketing Research Questionnaire

December 3, 2013
By

Consumers will not complete long questionnaires, so marketing research must get the most it can from every item.  In this post, we look into the toolbox of R packages and search for statistical models that enable us to learn a great deal about eac...

## Speeding up model bootstrapping in GNU R

December 2, 2013
By

After my last post I have recurringly received two questions: (a) is it worthwhile to analyze GNU R speed in simulations and (b) how would simulation speed compare between GNU R and Python. In this post I want to address the former question and next ti...

## Ensemble, Part2 (Bootstrap Aggregation)

December 1, 2013
By

Part 1 consisted of building a classification tree with the "party" package.  I will now use "ipred" to examine the same data with a bagging (bootstrap aggregation) algorithm. > library(ipred)> train_bag = bagging(class ~ ., data=train, coob...

## Ordinary Least Squares is dead to me

November 28, 2013
By

Most books that discuss regression modeling start out and often finish with Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) as the technique to use; Generalized Least Squares (GLS) sometimes get a mention near the back. This is all well and good if the readers’ data has the characteristics required for OLS to be an applicable technique. A lot

## Errors-in-variables models in stan

November 27, 2013
By

In a previous post, I gave a cursory overview of how prior information about covariate measurement error can reduce bias in linear regression. In the comments, Rasmus Bååth asked about estimation in the absence of strong priors. Here, I’ll describe a Bayesian approach for estimation and correction for covariate measurement error using a latent-variable based errors-in-variables...
